The winter season can be a magical experience for many, however, winter pests are never something that a homeowner looks forward to having to deal with! While there are a variety of preventive and proactive measures to take when it comes to reducing the odds of a rodent or pest infestation this season, let’s review some of the most common pests that can be found on the Cape.
Ants
Ants can be found in almost every home, however during the winter you might find a collection of ants hiding under wood piles, boxes, or even cabinets! If you find isolated in your home, there is a good chance that there is a larger colony somewhere. The best bet to reduce ants in your home is to target the colony directly.
Termites
Termites remain relatively active throughout the year; however colder weather will make your home a prime option as it is safe and provides a steady meal for Termites throughout the winter season. If you find termites in your home, it is important to contact a pest control expert immediately as termites can cause considerable damage to the foundation & walls of your home or business.
Rodents
Rats and mice are naturally resourceful critters. Since they cannot strive in colder temperatures, to survive they will seek shelter in warm, or protected areas, that have an ample supply of food. Often this will end up being a shed, a business, or in your home! It is important to remove all traces or rodents as they can spread diseases via contamination and excrement.
